If none of the antispywares finds anything and you still suspect the system
is infected, install HijackThis and scan the system. this utility shows all
active processes foreign and normal... so you have to know what can be
deleted safely... if you're not sure what to delete run a scan and save a
log you can post at the spywareinfo support forum to get help with the
results or check the spywareinfo tutorial page to ID the results yourself.
